NEW YORK -- Military jets escorted a jet to LaGuardia International Airport after a passenger became alarmed by a group of people passing notes, officials said.

About 15 minutes before American Trans Air Flight 204 was due to arrive from Chicago on Tuesday, a passenger told a flight attendant that seven others were engaged in "suspicious activity," passing notes and changing seats, Port Authority spokesman Alan Hicks said.
